Big news, everyone: My fiancé and I are moving to San Francisco this week!

I've accepted a job at an international fashion brand, and my fiancé is keeping his current job and working remotely. We got an apartment in the Mission and can't wait to start exploring the city!

We know a handful of people in SF and Oakland — including a former coworker who lives in our new apartment building — but we're definitely interested in hearing tips from everyone on can't-miss restaurants, amazing hikes (we're keeping our car!), cool boutiques and cultural stuff to check out. Neither of us have spent much time in this city, so we're all ears!

Got any recommendations to share? Please leave them in the comments! xoxo

Well, after nearly five years in Seattle, outdoorsiness finally got the better of me and I agreed to hike 20-something miles through the woods and sleep there with my fiance. Glamping this was not.

But despite the omnipresent flies, incredibly sore shoulders and endless amounts of UP, I had a rather nice time. It helped that I made my fiance do pretty much all the work of setting up and tearing down camp each night, but hey, he achieved his goal of making me enjoy backpacking!

Part of what kept me going (besides the will to survive) was the fun of making the little film below. Hope you like this glimpse into our nature adventure!

Chalk this one up with Trends I Won't Participate In. I honestly don't know where this particular trend came from. They typically have an obvious beginning, like athleisure coming from the new-age health movement and everything a 20-year-old girl wears coming from 1994.

But mullet jeans? Didn't see that one coming. The raw-hem trend has been going strong for a couple years now, and I guess this was a natural progression. Who knew it'd be such a THING though.

I bet some Instagram influencer messed up her D.I.Y. hem job and decided to just wear it shorter in front and longer in the back, kicking off a new denim trend worldwide. And now she's probably a bazillionaire.

All in all, this trend messes with my need for clean lines and tidiness. Sporting a raw hem is plenty messy for me, but adding another layer of unevenness? Ack! No thank you.
